In Hamtramck, United States, LGBT people feel rejected by the mayor of Yemeni origin. The arrival of Muslims was supported by the city's LGBT community.

The latter now deplores the “threat” of her “rights” by the municipal council, which is predominantly Muslim. For decades, this small Michigan town was an enclave of Polish Catholic workers, drawn to jobs in auto factories. Following industrial decline, they gradually left elsewhere and were replaced, over the last thirty years, by successive waves of Yemeni and Bangladeshi immigrants.
